Shadowhunters: The Descent Into Hell Isn't Easy

WARNING THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS IF YOU HADN'T SEEN IT YET. You can watch it free here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/892698#i0,p0,d0
Ok, so the its starts where it left off in the last episode. Instead of a bottle blonde wannabe goth as Simon says in the book; he calls Jace a Mick Jagger-looking guy. The three head into the old abandon church, but Simon still sees an abandon church 'til Jace draws a rune and well holds hand with Simon to really see the institute.
(Picture speaks for its self in what Simon thinks.)  Simon sees Isabelle for the first time. Lets just say, love at first sight. Jace and Clary head to the training room while Simon more than willingly stays behind with the beautiful Isabelle.
Next scene is in a parking garage where Luke saves a warlock which Luke takes care of.
So at the training room we met Hodge. Think maybe Hodge might be a warlock instead of a shadowhunter 'cause he didn't seem to age. He's described in the book as have graying hair (if I remember correctly) and though he, Jocelyn, Luke, etc are around the same age, he seemed older than the rest. But in the series, he's the around the same age with no graying hair. Its Valentine who in the series seems older than the rest of the former Circle members. Jace and Clary telling hodge that Valentine kidnapped Jocelyn. Its pains Hodge to talk about the Circle 'cause of some curse, but he does anyway.
Overwhelmed Clary runs, but Jace stops her. He eventually tells hers she doesn't remember is 'cause there's a block on her memory. Clary thinks its Dorothea who put the block.
 Dorothea and Luke are in Clary's room. She tells him that she sent Clary to the police station, but he never saw her.
So as promised, Isabelle fixed Simon breakfast. They eat in what is probably her room.
Now its Clary and Isabelle in Isabelle's room after she hadn't Clary are more 'conservative' top. They have a slight girl talk.
Alec still hasn't warned up to Clary.
With the touch of her necklace, Clary gets a vision of Dorothea. Valentine's goons gets to Dorothea before Clay and the gang.
Jace suggests the Silent Brothers, but Alec and Isabelle are against it. Clary goes for it. So instead of a graveyard its looks like the City of Bones is under a bridge. Simon wants to go in with her. (Simon personally seems like a clingy friend. Personally I would annoyed in a heartbeat. All the power to Clary.) Isabelle offers to stay with Simon while Jace and Clary go in.
At the police station we really meet Alaric...at least I think its Alaric. Alaric is a close friend of Luke so its common sense to think its him.
The Silent Brothers are just as creepy as in the movie as in the series. Its a bit different.
The Siblings and Simon are hanging outside by the door. Isabelle and Simon (Seeing a pattern here?) head to the van for Simon's phone so Isabelle can hear Simon's 'prediction song' as we might as well call it. A noise is heard and Isabelle walks away leaving Simon in the locked van...alone or so its believed.
OK, so instead of passing out, well she don't, but she learns that Valentine is her father as suppose to its Luke (if I remember correctly) tells her that Valentine is her father. She does not take the news well. Just wait 'til she learns of her brother.
Dorothea breaks out of her cell, but the scene ends with her screaming.
Alec is curious about what happened. Jace tells him that Valentine is her father. Course he now thinks she a spy.
Isabelle appears with no Simon that she searched everywhere. Simon is suppose to disappear at Magnus' party by turning into rat. Inter our love to hate vampire friend Raphael dangling Simon over a bridge. He too wants the cup.

The only question I have so far, is are they gonna do the greenhouse scene?

Shadowhunters: The Mortal Cup

WARNING IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT, THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS. While I don't have cable right now I was able to catch it on Hulu.  http://www.hulu.com/watch/892178#i0,p0,d0
The show opens up with Isabelle and Alec Lightwood and Jace Herondale (Sorry, but I'm using his biological name.) in pursuit of a demon and find themselves at Pandemonium, a night club where Jace bumps into Clary Fray. Standing nearby are Simon Lewis and Maureen.
But eight hours earlier Clary Fray walks into Brooklyn Academy of Art which Clary gets in.
Clary asks Simon over coffee that one so smart how can he be obvious not realize that the person sitting right in front of you is not in love with you? Simon's reply says that he's guaranteed he's not the only smart perceptive person making that same mistake.
The scene cuts to Luke Garroway a family friend and secretly likes Clary's mother. Luke went from a shaggy hair book owner to a clean cut cop? But they got Alaric right. Anyway he's investigating a series of demonic murders.
Clary arrives home and enters Madame Dorothea who went from a middle aged woman to her early thirties. She gives Clary a birthday gift for her 18th birthday, but isn't she suppose to be turning 16?
Jocelyn gives Clary her stele, but Clary doesn't get her mother's stele 'til around oh, I forgot. I wanna say City of Glass. She get's by with Jace's stele. Anway, Jocelyn says its an old family heirloom.
Jocelyn sits at the table and flashback's to 10 years ago while Clary was at the edge of a pond and demon shot out of it. Jocelyn takes Clary to Magnus Bane to wipe her memories.
At Java Jones Clary is talking about how protective her mother has gotten sitting atop the van with Simon and Maureen.
Isabelle is in awhile and dressed to kill. Alec makes a comment that she's distracting enough. I don't think that's something you should be commenting about your sister. Jace gives the lowdown about the demons their tracking with high tech computers.
Simon is singing a song about being forever young. Oh, irony. If he only knew.
This is where the opening reoccurs about Clary and Jace. Simon and Maureen think Clary's crazy, but she goes into the club anyway. Instead of a what was it? A closet, Jace pulls close a curtain. Clary sees Jace pull a what she sees is a knife on human, but really he pulls seraph blade on a shape-shifter. And the fight with demon's breaks out. Clary flees thinking she killed an actual human and runs into Magnus Bane.
At home Clary tells her mother what happened. Its then that Jocelyn reveals a bit, but Dorothea arrives to say that Magnus gave her the heads up that Circle members where outside. Jocelyn puts a necklace around Clary's neck. Dorothea opens a portal to take Clary to the policestation where Luke is.
The Circle members enter the antique shope. Dorothea is eventually thrown out the window while Jocelyn destory's Clary's room, fights, and takes the potion.
At the policestation Clary overhears the conversation with the circle members, but remember in the book she's with Jace when she overhears the conversation?
The scene cuts to Valentine at Chernobyl. Really? A radioactive city. No wonder he ain't been found. Jocelyn is there floating in like a bubble.
Clary heads home to find the place in shambles. She runs into Dorothea, but something is off. In the book its a dog that quickly turns into a Ravener demon and she gets bit on the on arm not the neck. She passes out at the institute, not the apartment.
 Clary wakes up to Isabelle, not Jace as its suppose to be, but not to worry. He enters with Alec who is not happy that Clary's there. Isabelle and Alec then leave. Clary is still in nothing but a shirt. She don't realize 'til she gets up. He tells her about how the legends are true. He gives her the lowdown. Simon calls wondering what happened and that's when she finally gets up. He's outside, but all he sees is a rundown church. Simon think she's on meth. Isabelle left Clary a leather skirt, top, and tigh high about 5inch boots.
Clary arrives outside in Isabelle's outfit with Jace. A demon appears which Jace kills. Simon sees the demon dead in human form. Clary tell Jace to deglamourize to Simon won't think she's crazy.
Valentine is mad that Mortal Cup is still not in his hands. Valentine learns that Jocelyn has a daughter.
